The holder of the bearing had been welded to plates to hold it to the boat
The weld had made the hole smaller.
I had no ream and with a diameter of 29 mm they are expesive
Instead I winded abrasive paper on a stick put it on the late and let the late do most of the work, still it took a long time.
Its not proper to do grinding on a lathe so excuse me but the boat is more important.
I did vacuum cleaning very thourolly to remove grit.

Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
